Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Pimiento-stuffed green olives
- 120 milliliters Extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 sprigs Fresh rosemary
- 2 sprigs Fresh thyme
- 2 whole Garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoons Red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoons Lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoons Cracked black pepper
Instructions
Drain and rinse the pimiento-stuffed green olives under cold water to remove excess brine. Pat dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.
Peel the garlic cloves and gently smash them with the flat side of a knife to release their flavors while keeping them mostly whole.
In a clean, dry glass jar or airtight container, add the drained olives.
Layer the olives with the fresh rosemary sprigs, fresh thyme sprigs, smashed garlic cloves, red pepper flakes, lemon zest, and cracked black pepper.
Pour the extra-virgin olive oil over the olives and herbs until the olives are fully submerged.
Seal the jar or container tightly, then gently shake it to distribute the herbs and oil evenly.
Refrigerate the container and let the olives marinate for at least 48 hours, gently shaking the container once or twice per day to ensure even flavor distribution.
Before serving, bring the olives to room temperature for about 20-30 minutes as the olive oil may have solidified in the refrigerator.
Serve the marinated olives straight from the jar, or transfer them to a serving dish for presentation. They can be enjoyed on their own or added to salads, antipasto platters, or charcuterie boards.
